SKIPPED OUT.
An Elopement from this City.

One of Bridgeton's gay lotharios has
left his home, wife and position, and
gone off with another woman, with
whom he has clandestinely been keep
ing company. Where he has gone, or
just how he went, is not known pub
licly, but that he has gone, and that
he means to stay, is evident from a
note which was said to have been
found by his wife, in which was writ
ten, ''Sell out the goods in the house,
and go home where you belong" This
struck the wife little curious, as she
imagined she was home where she be-
longed. All this happened two or
three days since, and as yet nothing
has been heard of the missing couple.
Recently the wife of the Iniscreant
husband met the couple in one of their
clandestine walks, and the result of
the meeting was that the bad woman
came out of the encounter which fol
lowed, in a somewhat denoralized con-
dition.
Since then the home of the husband
and wife has not been a happy one,
although to all outward appearances
it has seemed that the man has been
endeavoring to do better, and has
worked steadily until he eloped. But
he must have allowed the wish for the
other woman to master his good in
tentions. and in a moment of weak
ness yielded to the temptation, and
was gone. The home he left is a des-
olate one, and the broken hearted wife
will probably break up, and return to
her fathers house, which she left
when she confided in him, and gave
herself in his keeping. The gay hus-
band will undoubtedly tire Of the
woman whom he has run off with, and
will be sincerely sorry for the step
which he has taken, that has robbed
him of his good name, and will for
ever blast the good reputation which
he has borne in this community.

A Beautiful Situation.

Mr.. Oberlin Smiths residence at
East Lake will be one of the prettiest
places in this city. The house has
been removed from its former location
to the high bluff on the East side of
the Lake, and is now on jacks in posi-
ton for the foundation walls to be put
under The bay window on the west
is on the edge of the eastern bluff of
the lake, directly opposite the pretty
boat house. The grounds have been
marked off, and the winding walks are
now being graded preparatory to
gravelng. A little half-moon shaped
piece of ground in front of the house
will be set with beautiful plants, and
the remainder of the grounds will be
sodded. A driveway will extend from
the front of the house to the lake, and
from there along the bank to the ma
chine works, thence across the pond
to Commerce street. Workmen are
now driving the piling for the bed of
the roadway, which in some places is
cut down to the depth of about six
feet, giving a beautiful effect. The
shade trees are being judiciously trim
med, and only those removed where it
is absolutely necessary. Rustic. seats
and benches are to be scattered about
for the enjoyment of the family. 1t
will indeed be a beautiful place

Blowing up the Stumps.

The blowing up of stumps in the
Tumbling Dam, by dynamite, is
watched with considerable interest by
the curious. The manner in which it
is done is explained by one of the
workmen, as follows: "Take an inch
auger and bore hole pretty near the
base of the stump, put in the dyna-
mite, with conclusion cap, and then
some paper. From the paper run a
long fuse, and fill the hole with sand,
and then tightly plug the hole up
leaving a groove in the plug for the
fuse to run out. Then touch off the
fuse, and get, and don't forget to get."
In this manner stumps are blown to
atoms. Not less distance than fifty
feet is safe distance to stand after
the fuse is lighted, and the farther
away you stand the safer you are con-
sidered. The work of blowing them
up has ceased for lack of funds.

GOLDEN WEDDING.
6Oth Anniversary of Captain
and Mrs. D. P. Mulford.

Fifty years ago marriage notice
appeared in a Bridgeton paper to the
effect that David P Mulford and
Phebe Sutton had been united in
marriage by Rev. Abram Owen, pastor
OF Commerce street NJ. E. Church.
Since that day, in 81, Capt. Mulford
and his estimable lady, have reared a
family of five children, four SOUS and
one daughter, all of whom have grown
to man and womanhood honored and
respected. The eldest, Harriet, is the
wife of Jacob Mengel, the tobacconist;
Charles H. is a member of the we'll
known clothing firm of Ayars & Null
ford; Joseph L. is a leading planter
and dealer in Maurice River Cove
oysters at Long Reach, Port Norris;
David P, Jr., is in partnership with
his father, in the grain, fertilizer and
coal trade, on Commerce st. Theo
dore, the youngest, is in the hardware
business, in Philadelphia The boys
are all married, and successful bust
ness men.
In early life Captain Mulford fol-
lowed the water, where he won the
title of Captain. Later on he engaged
in business with VIM Dare, under the
firm name of Dare & Mulford, and of
recent years has continued in the
same line of trade, as D. P. Mulford s.
Son. He is one of our best and most
successful citizens, highly honored in
the NJ. E. Church, where he has long
been member, and all the other
walks of life
Few couples have lived SO long and
happily in welded life. Monday night,
August 18th, witnessed gathering of
all the children and their families, in
the Captains handsome residence, on
Bank street, where congratulations
were rendered him and his lady. a
most pleasant evening was spent, and
after bounteous supply of refresh
ments, the family reunion broke up,
with mutual thanks that all had lived
to see the day.

Bad City Water.

All over the city comes the COM
plant of the poor water that is being
furnished the city just now. The
complaint comes the loudest from
those who have no we'll, and are COM
PEELED to use hydrant water altogether.
The water smells terribly, and the
taste is replete with impurities. The
water in the retaining reservoir is as
black as ink. A First ward gentleman
a day or two ago drew bucket of
water for his COW from his hydrant,
and the COW refused to drink it. In
vestigation showed that the water
had a terrible stencil to it.
This should be remedied, as the
epidemic of typhoid fever which is
now raging in Mt. Holly, is said to be
due to the impure city water, and a
similar disease is likely to spread over
Bridgeton, if the water here is left i'm
pure, and full of disease.

Annual Bay Trip.

PORT NORRIS, n. j., Aug. IS, 81.
Editors Pioneer:-The annual bay trip
of the Port Norris Cornet Band, was
one of the most interesting voyages
the band boys ever took. The par
ticulars are as follows:
Left Port Norris, Wednesday, Aug
ust 18th, at - ~, for Bowers Beach,
Delaware, and after fine run we ar
rived at the mouth of Jones Creek,
leading ollr competitor, the schooner
"Gratitude," with the NJ. NJ. Bay Club
on board, but of course we did not go
right in, as the tide being low two bot
toms came together, but we got there
all the same. Fortunately everything
was on time, and after supper was
over we landed, and spent the evening
very enjoyably, tripping the light
fantastic toe until midnight The
Albert Bay Club, of Wilmington,
were on the grounds, and joined us in
our amusements. We invited them to
DltdhldSG ASAb IllOI Ioi Jul cbCH
ard being A. No. 1 on chicken, we
wanted them to enjoy one on
toast. On Thursday morning the four
clubs that were at Bowers Beach
formed in procession, led by the Port
Norris Cornet Band, and marched to
the Excursion House, where there was
Tho A lhapt
Club String Band also discoursed some
excellent music at the hotel. The boys
then broke ranks and enjoyed them
selves hugely. In the afternoon there
was a gala time and the way Willard
and Price spared was good, but Sulli-
van was not there, or there would not
have been so many rounds. The ball
in the evening was just immense, and
we all took part in it of course. We
left at / a. m. worn out with our day S
fun. and climbed into our little bed
for a nap. Friday, at a. m., we set
sail for Sea Breeze, where we arrived
in good time. Base ball was INDUCED
in with the Washington Club, the
latter leading us in the score. Ad-
iournment was then had to the Warner
House where the boys took full pos
session. The music was furnished by
two violinists and the piano, and the
ball opened again, the small hours of
the morning finding US still dancing.
At a. III. we got under way, and the
home tack was begun with a good
breeze. The party arrived at Long
Reach at 8 O'CLOCK. After escorting
Captain Andrew Vail to his home, the
band rendered a few selections in his
honor, and then the Club went into
Joint meeting, when the following
resolution was adopted:
Res0lred, That vote of thanks be
rendered Capt. Andrew Vail, for his
kindness and liberality to the Port
Norris Cornet Band, and that we give
him three cheers and a rousing big
tiger.
The resolution was carried out to
the letter. ROB.

A Sad Accident.

A gentleman from Cedarville went to
Atlantic City on the last excursion,
taking with him young lady. Shortly
after their arrival they felt inclined
for bathing, and here the old adage,
became true, all is not what it seems
to be, for the young man soon lost his
false-teeth. Then came the trouble, no
dinner, no way to replace them on the
spot. Young lady, thick, very sad.

Midsummer MeanderingS.

Among busy people there is always a
demand for short, clean-cut, and at
tractive trips. Without any prelimi-
nary worry as to selection of desti-
nation or choice of routes, people of
limited leisure like to take trip on
the fly, as it were having a general
idea of where they are going, but leav-
ing the details to others who provide
such accommodations.
The weekly tours of the Pennsyl-
vania Railroad to Gettysburg and
Luray appeal strongly to this class.
They are made to order, and there is
est that they are universally enjoyed.
They cover period of six days, every
hour of which may be spent in pleasure
or enjoyment of some kind.
The praises of Luray and the Nat
ural Bridge are sung by every visitor.
As points of interest they are incom-
parable. Gettysburg, too, compels at
tention as the greatest of modern bat
tlefields and the most interesting to
the present generation. One may
choose between them and never regret
his choice.
Thursday, August 18th, is the next
date. Special train of parlor cars and
day coaches running through on fast
time will leave Broad Street Station,
Philadelphia, at 900 A. NJ. The
round-trip rate from Bridgeton to
Gettysburg, including one days board
at the Eagle Hotel, is ST.; to Luray,
including day's.board and admission
to the Caverns, $11. Return coupons
of both tickets good for six days.
The rate from Luray to Natural Bridge
is low, and tickets are procurable at
Luray.
Tickets, parlor car reservations, and
descriptive pamphlets may be had at
the company's offices.
Regular train connecting with
special at Broad Street Station, Phila-
delphia, will leave 700 a. III.
